Chapter 262 Smart people can't understand kindness
He Qingran was very different from what she remembered.
The He Qingran in her memory was pale and sickly, as if he had been injured and lost too much blood and had never recovered.
But now He Qingran is extremely calm and steady. His facial features are not rounded, but angular. Although he is handsome, he has a sense of sharpness. The two thin folds between his eyebrows are the same. He looks doubly serious, unlike a young man in his twenties, and has a "grandfather" temperament. No wonder people call him the Young Master.
When she looked at him, He Qingran's eyes quickly swept across the room.
There was a map spread out on Shen Zhoujin's table, with something scrawled on the paper next to it.
Shen Zhoujin usually doesn't write well, but now he just writes it casually, using his usual handwriting. It looks extremely vigorous and powerful, with a hint of fighting spirit. He doesn't look like a little girl at all, but like he is practicing calligraphy. Even though he is decades old, he is still an extremely upright and tactless old man.
He Qingran is a literati, and literati are more accustomed to judging in a literary way, so when he saw this, He Qingran was shocked, and he immediately believed in her identity as "the founder of the Jiuxiao Founding Sect".
He Qingran only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze.
Shen Zhoujin said: "How can Master He help me?"
He Qingran said: "It all depends on the princess's orders."
Shen Zhoujin listened attentively: "In that case, I'm not polite. I'm sending people to distribute seabuckthorn seedlings everywhere. You and your people can go and have a look. No, a group of people just came back. "
He Qingran glanced at the courtyard, stood up and responded: "Yes, I obey the order."
Shen Zhoujin stood up and walked to the door, grabbed his arm, and gently threw him to the entrance of the courtyard. He Qingran's feet landed firmly on the ground, and he held his hand to her without losing his grace.
After a while, a group of people returned to the door and loaded the car. He Qingran and the entourage he brought also helped, then they filled the shelves in the car and left together.
The corners of Shen Zhoujin's mouth curved.
This is a smart man. He obviously has a lot of doubts about her and intends to get to the bottom of it, but he doesn't show it openly at all. His attitude is very polite and not urgent at all. When he sees her looking at the map, he doesn't even look at it. Don't ask any questions and just do what you're told. This is called smartness.
He Qingran was indeed in no hurry.
After knowing that she was the real Patriarch, he was not in a hurry. It is not easy to investigate a scheming person, so it would be better to start slowly from the people around her. Anyway, this time, he was determined to get to the bottom of it.
He had hidden worries in his heart.
When a country is about to prosper, there must be good fortune; when a country is about to perish, there must be monsters.
Shen Zhoujin is weird and legendary, obviously not an ordinary person. Of course he hopes that she will be "Zhenxiang", but he is also really worried that she will be a "monster".
The secret guard did not deliberately entertain him, but walked slowly while facing the map.
This carriage is specially made. The racks have been fixed on the carriage, and holes have been dug in the racks so that small flower pots can be inserted. Small bumps are not a big deal.
While walking, He Qingran asked: "Excuse me, what is this?"
The secret guard did not hesitate and explained to him: "This is a kind of fruit called sea buckthorn."
He Qingran asked: "Are you going to sell it?"
"No," the secret guard said, "It is distributed to the people for free. The master said that this kind of thing is drought-resistant and wind-resistant. It is also easy to live on this kind of sandy land, and you don't need to take care of it at ordinary times. Anyone who wants it, One family was given a small pot with four seedlings in it, and asked them to plant it in or outside the yard. When the time comes, it will look good as a landscape and can be eaten as fruit. It is said that they have not eaten vegetables and vegetables for many years. Fruits are not good for your health...if you grow them in large quantities, you can also make wine or something, I think there will be a place to harvest them then."
He Qingran was very surprised when he heard this.
This is pure charity, not to mention not seeking profit, and there is no feeling of seeking fame. It seems that it is just done casually without expecting anything in return.
He had thought about what kind of person Shen Zhoujin was, but no matter what, he should not be such a pure and kind person.
Shen Zhoujin had expected that he had such doubts.
There is a saying that smart people cannot understand kindness.
This is true most of the time.
A shrewd person can be upright, but generally not "kind", because true kindness has no reason, and shrewd people are accustomed to having a reason for everything they do.
Besides, she is really not a pure and kind person.
She did this just because Huo Ling was determined to make a difference and she was willing to help him.
Who in Yongzhou today doesn't know "Master Huo"?
Although the master made Yong Guogong, the people didn't care about it. They only remembered what they saw.
If he enters the court in the future, the affairs of Yongzhou and the people of Yongzhou will be his qualifications and support.
As for He Qingran, he really spent a whole day with the secret guards and came back even later than Huo Lingjue.
When Huo Lingjue heard what she said, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and whispered to her: "In the previous life, he was my subordinate. I didn't expect that those words were actually said by you. Although he was sincere, he always remembered that he had been with me. I mentioned it."
Shen Zhoujin raised his eyebrows in surprise, and Huo Lingjue also sighed a little: "At that time, the emperor was already seriously ill, and Qin Wei was in charge. The prime minister had already passed away at that time, because his father had also passed away, so he shouldered the burden and Ding You, During this period, he wrote an article that angered Qin Wei, who sent someone to assassinate him. He almost died. His grandmother was also frightened and was in poor health, so he took his grandmother with him and took refuge in the mountains. He also curbed his sharpness and stopped writing articles... "
"Later, his grandmother also passed away, and he had no scruples. Maybe it was because your words touched his heart. In short, He Qingran wrote an article shortly after the incident, denounced Qin Wei... His article was very well written, My current articles are actually somewhat influenced by him. His article was really written with great momentum, every sentence was on the right track, and the refutation of Qin Wei's body was so complete that it spread throughout the country almost overnight. .”
He paused for a moment: "Later, Qin Wei sent people to kill him, so I sent people to rescue him. He faked his death and left the capital. He changed his name to He Wentian and has been working for me in Jiangnan."
Shen Zhoujin was inexplicably surprised: "It turns out that He Wentian is him. I still remember you mentioned this name. Then write this article he wrote in his previous life and show it to him. I think he must be a strict-mouthed person. "
Huo Lingjue nodded: "No, there's no need. Let it be. It's not a good memory. If he can choose, standing in the court, shouting for the world and speaking out, is more in line with his temperament."
As he was talking, he remembered something: "By the way, the Prime Minister is seriously ill. It should be this year or next year. I remember he fainted in the court and took more than half a year to die. Can you see if you can save him?" save."
Shen Zhoujin nodded.
So when He Qingran came back, he felt inexplicably that Shen Zhoujin looked at him much more kindly.
But the next morning, when he was about to chat with Shen Zhoujin, he found that she was not there. Instead, Huo Lingjue greeted him: "Come on, follow us today."
He Qingran had no pretensions and followed him happily.
